Facing Jolly's request, Coach Wilkinson rubbed his nose anxiously.
Who can play and when can be decided by the head coach.
Jolly's current actions are undoubtedly challenging his authority as a head coach, and in front of other players.
But……
Wilkinson took a deep breath and said in a comforting tone: "Jolly, don't be affected by off-field factors, this is our away game. In high school competitions where there are no cameras to broadcast, the away game is like this. Besides, , the game is still very early, the score now is 1:1, we will take the lead again."
"Coach! Do you hear what those country bumpkins are singing?" Jolly's eyes were red.
Wilkinson said: "I heard it, but I hope you stay calm. This is just the group stage. We have actually qualified steadily. It is them who should be anxious. What you main players should consider now is to have a good rest, and then How to better defeat the opponents in the top 16 knockout rounds - there is still a long way to go, don't forget that our goal is the national championship!"
Qiao Li breathed heavily for a few times and finally calmed down, "Okay, coach, I'll listen to you."
Wilkinson breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really tiring to be a coach for these noble young men...
The game continues.
The humiliated Golden Fleece team stepped up their attack.
The Bucks Steel Horns also swept away their previous all-out defense and played back-and-forth with the Golden Fleece.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Gu Ran sent a precise long pass from the left wing. The blind man received the ball from the right wing and passed to the glider.
Unfortunately, the glider failed to suppress the ball and wasted Gu Ran's long pass.
In the injury time of the first half, the Golden Fleece team got a set kick opportunity about 40 meters away from the goal in a crazy attack.
The defensive midfielder of the Golden Fleece team kicked the ball from the back of the Bucks Steel Horns' penalty area. Gu Ran held on to two Golden Fleece players who rushed to grab the point, giving Rusty the chance to head the ball first. .
Rusty Strips pushed the ball out of the sideline neatly.
Gu Ran and Xi Tiao gave high fives to encourage him!
The students in the stands cheered wildly for their performance!
After 5 minutes of stoppage time, the first half of the game ended.
The score between the two sides was temporarily tied at 1:1.
The players of the Golden Fleece team left the field dejectedly amid the loud singing of "There is a handsome oriental man named Gu Ran".
The Bucks Steel Horns players returned to the home team's locker room with high morale.
Coach Carter took the lead in applauding, "Everyone played well in the first half! We must maintain this momentum in the second half!"
"Yes! Coach!"
Coach Carter added: "Hurry up and take a rest. I will take this time to explain to you our tactical changes in the second half...Gu, I will explain your tactical arrangements to you later. You can follow Maria first." Get physical therapy!”
By this time, Gu Ran's physical fitness has affected the entire team, and there must not be any problems.
Gu Ran himself also knew the importance of physical fitness, so he quickly said: "Okay, coach."
Teacher Maria smiled at Gu Ran, "Quick, follow me."
There is no physiotherapy room in the home team's locker room, so Teacher Maria cleared out a spare room next to the home team's locker room in advance and added a physiotherapy bed overnight.
Gu Ran was very moved.
Without waiting for Teacher Maria to ask, Gu Ran lay down skillfully on the physiotherapy bed.
This is not the first time for everyone, save time and spend more time with physical therapy is the real thing.
Seeing Gu Ran's skillful movements, Teacher Maria couldn't help but chuckle, "You are like a beast on the court, but you are so cute off the court. I really like you."
Gu Ran:......
Don't flirt, it's mainly because your body can't stand it...
Teacher Maria took out the physiotherapy essential oil and expertly performed physiotherapy on Gu Ran's legs while looking at Gu Ran with starry eyes, "Gu, you are so great! The players of the Golden Fleece team are so strong, he actually hit But you. Why do I feel... your muscles are harder than the last time I gave you physical therapy? "
Teacher Maria, are you sure you are talking about muscles?
Gu Ran's throat twitched and he changed the topic, "...Teacher Maria, um... I have something I want to ask you for a favor - why don't we forget it for now and wait until the game is over."
Teacher Maria pretended to be angry, "I hate it! Half-talking makes me feel itchy! If you want me to do anything, just say it boldly. I won't blame you."
Gu Ran thought for a while, "Forget it, let's wait until the game is over - ah!"
Teacher Maria pinched Gu Ran's thigh muscles and asked, "Do you want to tell me?"
Damn...it's so sour and refreshing!
Gu Ran said quickly: "Tell me...Teacher Maria, let go first."
Only then did Teacher Maria let go of her hand proudly.
Gu Ran took a breath and said, "Teacher Maria, I actually want to ask, are you, are you free tonight?"
After asking this question, Gu Ran suddenly felt a fever on his face.
The atmosphere in the treatment room also became a little ambiguous.
...It shouldn’t be, I’m a veteran.
It’s all the fault of your young body!
Teacher Maria put on a pretty face and said in a cold voice: "Oh? Gu, did I hear you right? Are you taking the initiative to date me? You are a student, and you dare to date the teacher. I asked you to Speak boldly, but you are too bold!"
As he spoke, Teacher Maria pressed hard on Gu Ran's calf.
But Gu Ran knew very well in his heart that if Teacher Maria was really angry, it would have been more than that.
As the saying goes, as long as you are brave, the teacher will let you go...
Gu Ran cleared his throat and explained: "You misunderstood Teacher Maria. I invited you to come to my house because I bought a set of liquid nitrogen freezing space capsule equipment. They will come to install it this afternoon. After it is installed, , I would like to ask you to give me a practical operation..."
Poof!
Teacher Maria laughed so hard, "Okay, okay, look how nervous you are! I just teased you on purpose, you little fool! Besides, it's not like I didn't agree, so what excuse are you making?" Is that thing like a liquid nitrogen cryogenic space capsule something that a high school student like you can afford?"
Gu Ran said seriously: "Yes, I can afford it."
Teacher Maria smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I know you can afford it. Are you satisfied? Don't worry, I promised you. I'll go. When the competition is over, give me the address of your new home. I'm going to help you operate your... space capsule."
After saying that, Teacher Maria winked at Gu Ran meaningfully.
Eh?
Why does it seem more and more wrong the more you talk about it?
Teacher Maria, you misunderstood, space capsule is not a dirty talk!
I really have a space capsule! I really need you to help me...
Gu Ran felt that he couldn't explain clearly.
Forget it, if the explanation is not clear, then I won’t explain it. Anyway, everything will be solved after night.
Well...it will all unravel.
Just listen to Teacher Maria saying softly: "Close your eyes quickly, have a good rest, don't be distracted by thinking about what happened tonight, and continue to play well in the second half."
"Yeah." Gu Ran immediately closed his eyes and tried to relax as much as possible.
The first half tied with the Golden Fleece 1:1, and the Golden Fleece will definitely fight back in the second half.
And it is very likely that during the fatigue point in the last 15 minutes of the game, the Golden Fleece team will replace the main players.
That's when the real test comes.
Therefore, we must expand our advantage as early as possible in the second half.
It's best to play against the Golden Fleece team.
There are 2 talent points left on the scene, one of which must be reserved for the physical attribute.
The remaining one must be used depending on the situation.
hiss……
So cool...
Gu Ran closed his eyes and felt that his legs were getting hotter and hotter, so hot that the hair on his legs was almost burning.
For a full 10 minutes, Gu Ran felt that the muscle fatigue in his legs had almost completely disappeared.
This is equivalent to regaining 10 minutes of physical fitness!
Gu Ran said sincerely: "Teacher Maria, thank you!"
"Don't say thank you between us," Maria wiped away the beads of sweat on her cheeks with the back of her hand, looking up at Gu Ran who stood up, "You know what I want..."
This look, this tone, this gesture...
And there are these saucy puns...
Compared to the last time, it’s even more exciting!
For a moment, Gu Ran almost couldn't control his hand and lifted Teacher Maria's chin, and then kissed her slightly open flaming red lips.
However, Gu Ran finally held back.
Gu Ran smiled at Maria and said, "Wait for me."
After saying that, Gu Ran turned around and walked out of the physiotherapy room and returned to the home team's locker room.
Maria clutched her beating chest, her mind filled with thoughts of Gu Ran's charming smile just now.
"This guy..." Maria murmured in a trembling voice, "He actually turned me on..."
In the home team's locker room.
"Gu! You came back just in time." Carter grabbed Gu Ran, pointed at the tactical board and quickly explained: "In the second half, I will let Xi Mei switch positions with you. You play as the left midfielder. I need you to be there." The frontcourt is constantly interspersed, I need you to be able to catch the ball, and I also need you to be able to pass the ball out and break the Golden Fleece team's zone defense - can you do it?"
This kind of position-changing tactic has been practiced in previous trainings, so Gu Ran and Xi Mei are not unfamiliar with it.
However, at the time of the drill, it was just a change of position in a certain attack, but now it is a change of position throughout the second half.
The new position is undoubtedly a huge test for Gu Ran.
The most important thing in the midfield and frontcourt is actually passing and receiving - and it just so happened that Gu Ran got the skill of stopping the ball sideways for nothing in the first half.
Coupled with his experience and football intelligence as a forward in his previous life...
Gu Ran immediately said confidently: "Coach! I have no problem!"
Carter excitedly patted Gu Ran on the shoulder, "Gu, I believe in your ability and talent! Come on in the second half! In addition, if you have a chance to insert into the penalty area, and you judge that your position has a better chance of shooting, I will allow you to do so." Shoot!"
Damn it!
This is the right to fire!
Although the right to fire is not very high, and you must be sure of your shot before you can fire, this is already a big step forward!
Coach Carter, you really dare to use me!
Then I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!
Gu Ran took a deep breath and said, "Coach, I will definitely play well!"
"Okay!" Coach Carter clapped his hands, "Everyone, come and assemble!"
All the main players came together to form a circle, their arms draped around each other's shoulders.
"Stag Steel Horns——"
"Invincible——"
"Make the golden fleece into a silver bald man!"
"Ohhhhhhh!"
"Come on!"
The whole team was full of enthusiasm and walked out of the home team locker room full of fighting spirit!
The 15-minute intermission ended. Players from both sides came on the stage again, swapped venues, and changed sides to fight again.
More than a thousand Southampton private school students at the scene sang loudly and uniformly: "There is a handsome oriental man named Gu Ran, who also killed Jolly the Golden Fleece, Qiao the Golden Fleece." Lee was also beaten by him! Jolly of the Golden Fleece was also beaten by him!"
The Golden Fleece players all wore black faces.
beep--
The second half began with the Bucks Steelhorns taking the lead.
As soon as the whistle blew, Sissy passed the ball to Gu Ran on the left.
Gu Ran's position was switched with Xi Mei's. Gu Ran no longer needed to dribble the ball from the backcourt. Instead, he picked up the ball near the midline and started directly at high speed!
This change in formation has made the Bucks Steel Horns' offense more concise and faster.
The Golden Fleece team didn’t react at all!
They never expected that Gu Ran would mention the position of left midfielder!
The Golden Fleece's defense on the left side was in chaos, with almost all defensive players gathering on the left side.
The Golden Fleece's right winger fiercely slid towards Gu Ran,
Gu Ran kicked it hard and then sprinted at high speed!
Here comes—black-haired Belle! Pass the famous scene to yourself three seconds later!
Gu Ran overtook directly on the outer lane!
The right winger of the Golden Fleece couldn't tackle Gu Ran at all, and he slid out of the sideline in embarrassment!
Another Golden Fleece midfielder quickly took over and made another sliding tackle!
Gu Ran was well prepared. He clicked his toes, then turned with a step, avoiding the sliding tackle from the Golden Fleece's backside, and cut inside!
This set of micro-management ignited the blood of the Southampton students in the stands!
English football has always advocated physical confrontation, but it is even more crazy to be able to show micro-level technical details in physical confrontation!
In particular, Gu Ran made two fierce sliding tackles in one breath!
This scene is so cool!
Some boys knelt in the stands and cheered for Gu Ran!
The girls’ voices were hoarse! My chest hurts from beating!
Who would have thought that at the beginning of the second half, Gu Ran would be so fierce!
Teacher Maria supported the wall and murmured: "It's all my credit..."
In the blink of an eye, both points of the Golden Fleece's zone defense were out of position!
The Golden Fleece's zone defense was like a piece of loose sand in an instant!
Gu Ran directly dribbled in at high speed to the top of the arc outside the penalty area!
Seeing that Gu Ran was about to force his way into the penalty area, coach Wilkinson on the sidelines couldn't help shouting and commanding the players to shrink their defense on the spot.
The players of the Golden Fleece team were indeed quick to return to defense. By the time Gu Ran looked up to read the scene, two Golden Fleece players were already outflanking him from both sides, only three or five positions away from Gu Ran.
In front of Gu Ran, the shooting angle was tightly blocked.
Minato was blocked from the outside of the penalty area. Although Sissy and Glider penetrated into the penalty area, they were surrounded by defensive players - even the forward passing angle was blocked.
In this case, the team's other positions are not strong enough, at least not as strong as the Golden Fleece's defensemen.
Of course, if Gu Ran has unlimited firing rights and has a good grasp of his shooting skills, Gu Ran can completely take the ball alone.
However, Gu Ran only has limited fire rights, not unlimited fire rights.
Moreover, Gu Ran was still a little unfamiliar with his ball-protecting ability and shooting skills in his previous life.
So this time, Gu Ran was not in a hurry to fight hard.
The temporary left back Simei has already assisted. This position is naturally very good for Simei, and the defense on the left wing was also attracted back to the center because of Gu Ran's cut inside just now.
So, Gu Ran immediately passed the ball back to the left intelligently.
At this time, Xi Mei passed the ball to the left side and was very comfortable with it.
After Xi Mei got the ball, he immediately went down. Gu Ran did not return to defend, but ran directly into the penalty area.
Gu Ran's passing immediately attracted the attention of at least three defensive players.
The glider also took the opportunity to move forward!
Ximei made a pass near the baseline——
The glider leaps high and stops the ball with his back and chest!
As a center, his shooting is indeed a bit bad, but his back-stopping skills are still good.
The Bucks Steel Horns' tactical strategy is to use the center as the fulcrum for passing and receiving in the penalty area!
After the glider stopped the ball, he immediately turned around and passed to the center of the penalty area!
Minato immediately inserted it from the right!
But the intention of Glider's pass was too obvious. The Golden Fleece goalkeeper jumped directly and suppressed the ball before Minato was about to touch it.
I have to say that the Golden Fleece goalkeeper is very decisive!
The frontcourt players of the Bucks Steel Horns immediately covered their faces and lamented.
This is a very good opportunity!
Gu Ran has already torn the Golden Fleece's zone defense into a hole in his stockings. Gu Ran's distribution of the ball, instigating and attracting defense are also very good. It's a pity that the players in the frontcourt are not strong enough to seize such a good opportunity.
Gu Ran looked indifferent and turned around to return to his defensive position while applauding Ximei, Glider and others.
The Southampton students in the stands also applauded the home team's offensive performance and continued to sing "There is a handsome oriental man named Gu Ran".
This wave, the Golden Fleece team was fucked to the point of trembling.
Yes, they did defend the wave of attacks just now.
But if the Bucks Steel Horns' frontcourt attackers were a little bit higher, the Glider's passes were a little faster, and Watergate's goal-rushing was a little faster, the Golden Fleece players would definitely not be able to hold on!
If you keep kicking like this...it's terrible!
Is this really a weak team in the fourth gear?
Why did the black-haired full-back become a full-midfielder after kicking and kicking?
Being a full midfielder is not the scariest thing. The key is that this Chinese kid is too fast. You can't even tackle him if you want to!
Moreover, his inside cuts are so smooth, and he specializes in cutting through holes in the defense. If he is not careful, he will make a fatal pass.
The players on the Golden Fleece team obviously lacked confidence.
The game continues.
Gu Ran retreated to the left back area to defend.
The Golden Fleece team can only make fuss from the right wing...
In the next ten minutes, the offensive and defensive rhythms of both sides changed very quickly, and the physical energy of the players on both sides was also consumed a lot.
Under Gu Ran's instigation, the Bucks Steel Horns launched several fatal attacks in succession.
The Golden Fleece team's defense was riddled with holes by Gu Ran's attack.
Seeing that the time of the game was decreasing little by little, the Golden Fleece team could never find confidence. On the contrary, the Bucks and Steel Horns became more and more courageous as they fought.
Under Gu Ran's instigation, the Bucks Steel Horns played three sharp fast breaks in a row!
He even hit the post once and almost scored!
For most of the second half, the Bucks and Steel Horns pressed against the Golden Fleece!
The Southampton students in the stands happily sang and danced: "There is a handsome oriental man named Gu Ran. Jolly the Golden Fleece was also knocked over by him. Gu Ran sprinted and passed the ball to Gu Ran three seconds later." You and Qiaoli can only sit on the bench and eat exhaust fumes! Qiaoli can only sit on the bench and eat exhaust fumes!"
This song has actually evolved again!
Sitting on the bench, Qiaoli angrily crushed the mineral water bottle in his hand and threw it to the ground.
"Coach!" Jolly shouted with red eyes: "I can't stand it anymore! I want to go on the court! I want to kill those rubes! I want to make those rubes leave this stadium crying!"
Wilkinson touched his nose to hide his anxiety, "Jolly, calm down——"
Jolly said angrily: "I can't calm down! Coach, do you hear what they are singing in the lyrics? They are humiliating me!"
Wilkinson nodded and said: "I'm not deaf, of course I heard it. But Jolly, we have already qualified. There is really no need for you to waste your physical energy and mess up your mind for this insignificant game."
Qiao Li said angrily: "Coach! It's not you who is singing in the lyrics! If it were you, you wouldn't believe you would still be so calm!"
The muscles in Wilkinson's face twitched slightly.
At this moment he realized that the order in the Golden Fleece locker room was out of control.
As a head coach, he should use thunderous means to maintain his authority, but if he really suppresses Jolly, the consequences may be serious.
Wilkinson sighed faintly, "Well, these southern hillbillies are indeed too arrogant, so let's teach them a lesson - Jolly, Gavin, you two, go warm up!"
"Yes! Coach!"
"Finally! Hahaha!"
"There are 20 minutes left, 20 minutes is enough to defeat them!"
"We're going to make these arrogant, stinky country bumpkins pay the price!"
Jolly, is the captain and forward goalscorer of the Golden Fleece team.
And Gavin, who is 192 centimeters tall, is the main defensive midfielder/center defender.
Both of them are the aces of the Golden Fleece team and both are semi-professional players trained by Aston Villa's youth team.
When the two of them come on the court, the Golden Fleece team will immediately become different.
As the two of them warmed up, the Southampton students in the stands booed wildly.
Coach Carter frowned slightly and murmured: "Wilkinson, you old bastard, do you still want to win all three games?"
This is the situation that Coach Carter is most worried about. They played too well in the first half, and the Golden Fleece team will easily replace their main players in the second half to compete.
To be honest, the strength of the Bucks Steel Horns is currently not enough to compete with the first-tier Golden Fleece team.
Coach Carter's heart couldn't help but clench...
At this time, the game on the field is still going on.
Substitutions can only be made if a dead ball occurs.
The game has now reached the 73rd minute, which is also the point at which the physical fitness of both players begins to decline seriously.
After a fierce battle on the wing, Hua Luo on the right intercepted the ball successfully in the chaos and passed it to the midfielder Bun.
Bread didn't even hesitate and drove directly to the left frontcourt with a big kick!
The Bucks Steel Horns' quick counterattack is here again!
Gu Ran did not hesitate at all. While running forward like the wind to chase the landing spot, he concentrated his thoughts and added the third talent point directly to the physical attribute!
The physical attribute has been increased from 64 points before to 65 points!
At this moment, Gu Ran felt a big mouthful of blood coming back!
Gu Ran's sprint speed became faster!
Bread's long pass was more than forty meters away, and the first landing point was more than ten meters away from Gu Ran. The Golden Fleece right winger on the opposite side had also started to come up desperately to fight for the ball!
For the Golden Fleece right winger, it doesn't matter whether he can control the ball or not. As long as he kicks the ball out of the sideline and causes a dead ball, his mission is completed!
But Gu Ran's sprint speed was so fast that it was mind-numbing!
Gu Ran rushed to the first landing point first, turned sideways, and rubbed the toes of his right foot against the bottom of the falling football!
The football was like a rainbow, passing over the head of the Golden Fleece right winger!
The Golden Fleece right winger was stunned!
Stop the ball sideways and add a rainbow pass, all in one go!
Qiao Li, who was warming up on the sidelines, was also dumbfounded:
Isn't this why he spent a lot of time and energy day and night to master the skill of stopping the ball sideways?
The Southampton students in the stands cheered and shouted like crazy!
This stop and pick is so cool!
What's even more cool is that the ball landed very well, and it happened to be caught by Minato who was coordinating in the middle!
Minato dribbles the ball straight into the Golden Fleece's penalty area!
The Bucks Steel Horns' fast break was very sharp, with only two Golden Fleece center backs in the penalty area.
After Gu Ran passed the ball to Minato, he also used his speed to quickly pass the Golden Fleece right winger and cut into the penalty area from the left!
At this moment, it’s 2v2 in the Golden Fleece penalty area!
Minato dribbled the ball to the left, attracting one of the central defenders to come up to press him, and then suddenly rolled the ball in front of the goal!
Minato gives Gu Ran a ball!
Gu Ran accelerated and sprinted in front of the goal to grab the spot——
Have the opportunity!
Have the opportunity! ! !
